6.5 Replacing the Memory Backup Battery
Programs, parameters, CAL data, etc. are stored in the internal memory of the robot
controller.
The memory backup battery retains the above data while the power to the robot
controller is turned OFF. However, the battery has a limited lifetime and must, therefore,
be replaced regularly.
Note: If two years elapse from replacement of backup battery, the "Time to change
controller backup battery" message will appear on the teach pendant.
Caution: Without replacing the memory backup battery, important
robot-specific data held in the memory will be lost.
This caution applies ONLY in CALIFORNIA, USA.
